Lou Jing, a contestant on a Chinese American Idol-like show called Let's Go! Oriental Angel, has been the victim of a storm of attacks after participating on the show according to The Age. It's not because she was a bad singer or because she did anything wrong, it's just because she's half Black. Lou Jing, who is half Chinese and half Black, was the victim of a large amount of racist attacks online and in the media when she appeared on the talent show. Lou Jing was part of the top 30 contestants, but was eliminated shortly after. It's kind of heartbreaking to read her quotes in the article about how she doesn't consider herself attractive anymore. See, Idol-like shows are ruining the world. It's now proven.

As a Chinese-American, I will say that this really doesn't surprise me much. We're talking about an area of the world where I think as recently as 20 years ago they had "Darkie Toothpaste" -- complete with stereotypical logo -- and it's still called "Black Man's Toothpaste" in Cantonese.

Really sad.

Poor girl. She didn't choose her parents or her heritage.

WTF she's fucking gorgeous!

But I guess I'm racist now too, against the human race. Humans seriously are nothing but assholes, everyone last one of us. Hating people just because of arbitrary shit like what they look like, how they speak, who they love, what they believe...God, we're all the same fucking species, who gives a shit.

She's beautiful, and this story is disgusting. I don't care what your race, religion, sexuality, creed, sex, etc. is, you should not hate other because of things that are out of their control.

We are talking about a country that pulled a six year old girl out of singing a song at the Olympics because of her looks. So, this does not surprise me in the least.
